Dinosaur Sorting Mats

Enthral your students and transport them back to the age of dinosaurs with Dinosaur Sorting Mats. This resource is designed for students in Grade 3, Grade 4 and Grade 5, sparking their curiosity about prehistoric creatures and taxonomy.

You can incorporate this tool into your science lessons on Archaeology, deepening discussions about dinosaur taxonomy. The resource includes six sorting mats focused on the following dinosaur groups:

• Onithopods
• Ceratopsia
• Thyreophora
• Sauropoda
• Theropoda
• Pachycephalosauria

In addition, there are eighteen brightly colored cards depicting a variety of dinosaurs suitable for sorting activities.

Educational Methodology & Implementation Guide

The teacher guides learners through the process of grouping based on dinosaur traits. Moreover, they instruct students to place figures or cards on matching dinosaur mats - thus creating a hands-on learning experience.

Incorporation in Classrooms & Study Formats

You can introduce these resources into dedicated 'dinosaur corners' in your classroom or as a component of solo-learning activity boxes.

Motivation behind this Design:

A two-page rationale underscores the need to discern among the varieties of prehistoric entities through taxonomic understanding along with an illustrative diagram that presents a holistic view providing structure amidst those chaos.

The collection also provides five distinct pages with cut-out dinosaur models for added realism. Print and laminate these materials for longer usability!

Outcome

This teaching resource transforms your learners into budding paleontologists and conveys dinosaur taxonomy's essence in an engaging and digestible manner.
